This week, Mike finds out that Chad Bickel, a popular young bass fisherman who talks loud and uses music-video-style graphics, has been signed up by Ed as a celebrity spokesman for the store. Chad annoys the heck out of Mike so, in an attempt at making peace between the two, Vanessa invites the fisherman to their house for dinner. Unexpectedly, Mike and Chad bond a little while discussing fishing in Kenya. When Vanessa tries to cut in to the conversation, Mike tells her that she is "his anchor." She takes that the wrong way, feeling like it means she is the one who prevents him from traveling around the world like he used to. This leads to Mike's funniest commentary video of the series so far, where he tries to explain why comparing his wife to a fancy, sleek, galvanized anchor should be a compliment. It was laugh-out-loud funny.
There is great interplay between Mike and Ed discussing store promotions, particularly those that have gone wrong. The story between Mike, Vanessa, and Chad is a pleasant reminder that the grass always seems greener on the other side of the fence. There's also a short subplot about Mandy deciding to go vegan. Her sisters then pull a "put up or shut up" move on her, but she responds with a surprising comeback for them. Overall, the episode is hilarious and lots of fun.
